Jan. 6 prosecutors fired

The administration of President Donald Trump continued its revenge tour on Friday, axing two dozen prosecutors who worked on Jan. 6 cases.

The Department of Justice fired the Washington, D.C.-based prosecutors on the orders of Acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove, per the Associated Press. The move comes shortly after Trump issued pardons to more than 1,500 people charged for allegedly taking part in the Jan. 6 riots at the U.S. Capitol.
